Sounds Like: The self-conscious aim of torture is to turn its victim into someone who is isolated, over-whelmed, terrorized, and humiliated. Torture aims to strip away from its victim all the qualities of human dignity that liberalism prizes. The torturer inflicts pain one-on-one, deliberately, up close and personal, in order to break the spirit of the victim.
in other words, to tyrannize and dominate the victim. The relationship be-tween them becomes a perverse parody of friendship and intimacy:
Intimacy transformed into its inverse image, where the torturer fo-cuses on the victim’s body with the intensity of a lover, except that every bit of that focus is bent to causing pain and tyrannizing the victim’s spirit.
